ANIMAL DEVELOPMENT,
Why Stockholders should Carefully Study
the Effects of Food.

The cattle and horses raised on the
farm are just what their respective
/ breeders make of them, for their char
acter and usefulness in after life de-
/ pend almost entirely upon the manner
! in which they are treated when Young.
The feeding of animals to the best adj
vantage is very simple matter with
those who thoroughly understand the
composition of the animal body. and
what they need to produce the desired
! effects. Failure in feeding is generally
the result of ignorance of this knowl-
| edge, and the better the farmer or
stock-raiser understands the elements
which compose the animal structure of
his cattle and horses, the better will be
his success in raising them.
Every part of the body is continually
wearing away, and of course must be
supplied and be contained in the food
given to them daily, and it is here that
the breeder uses his knowledge of the
elements required, and feeds his stock
accordingly so as to reap the best re-
suits with the least possible expense.
In raising young stock it is not ONLY
the material of the body that has to be
renewed, but they must also have ma.
terial supplied for new growth. and
with young stock this should be
strengthening food, which will 60 to the
development of bone and muscle.
rather than flesh. Never feed on strict
ly fattening food, for a calf or COW can
be starved to death by being fed on
corn alone, while they may be so fat
they can hardly move The bone and
muscle must be supplied with noursh-
ment and all parts built up alike to in
sure health and good form when fully
The young stock does not need any
tattenlng food at all, and should not
have it supplied, for flesh is not what
should be desired at this time, all
though it may give them Il sleek-look-
ing appearance, but the bad effects
thus produced will not justify the ex-
pertinent. A large frame should al
ways be aimed at, and they should be

BUTTER FACTORIES.
Uau or What Conditions Creameries WIFE
Most Likely Prove Profitable.

Most Likely Prove Profitable.
The establishment of creamcrlcs or
/ butter factories has done much to
/ tighten labor in farm-hnuses, to I'M
: prove the quality If butter, to insure
good price for it, and to enable the
producers of milk to obtain cash Tor It
at regular times That many creamer-
| les have failed does not 90 to show that
the system of manufacturing Is faulty.
Some have failed because too much
money was expended in the erection OF
buildings and the purchase OF appara-
tls. Others did not meet with success
for the reason that the buildings were
not located where it was convenient
for farmers to deliver milk or cream-
and there were no arrangements MADE
for collecting them. Still others failed
on account of lack of skill OF the super
intendent or operator, or want OF
proper business management. Cream
cries have cen started in several
places before the farmers in the vlclnl-
ty were ready for them. They had IN
ferior cows that had been accustomed
to suckle calves, and had never been
properly trained by a competent
mixer The farmers themselves were
lacking in experience in the feeding
and general care of dairy COWS, and
were generally Indifferent OF very poor
mixers. Men who are not accustomed
to it do not take kindly to milking
cows
A creamery s ould not be started ir
a farming neiehborhood till the farmers
are ready for it. Generally it will take
them ut least two years to make prepar:t-
tons to supply it with material. They
will require some time to raise or coll
lect herd of good mixers and to learn
how to take proper care of them. They
will need Instructions in the operations
of cooling, straining and handling of
milk. They will want time for collect
ing money to build and supply Il build
ing for the manufacture of butter. The
building need not be very expensive
one, though if farmers follow the adj
vice of ''sharpers' who make business
Of organizing creamery companies, put
ting up buildings, and supplying them
with apparatus, it will be likely to be
SO. Economy must be exercised in the
erection and management Of Il butter
factory, or the profits derived from it
will be small. 1t will require good ex-
ecutive management, like any other
manufacturing establishment. Its ulti-
mate success will largely depend on
reputation and keeping it.
Once established and put under proper
it will most likely prove
to be paying institution and result in
great benefit to the nei ghborhood where
it is located.-Ddiry World
